Overview
The CAP OPHR3-005 is a single cast iron weight plate weighing 5 pounds, priced at $13.08. At that price point, it gives lifters a low-cost way to add incremental resistance without committing to a full set. The 4.4-star rating across 247 reviews is strong for a bare-iron utility plate.
This plate is sold as a single piece, so if you need a matched pair you will need to purchase two. The cast iron finish is standard: functional, durable, and without any rubber coating. It is available in black. Hole diameter specifications are not listed in the product data; confirm barbell compatibility on the product page.
With 50 buyers purchasing it per month, the CAP OPHR3-005 has consistent demand. It makes the most sense as a supplemental plate to round out a collection rather than as the starting point for a complete weight setup.
